Petey has been at the shelter for 292 days & Counting.

Meet Petey! This handsome 18-month-old Trail Mix Terrier is a gentle, quiet soul looking for a patient family to show him how wonderful the world can be.
Petey is a bit of a loner and can be shy when meeting new people or dogs. He prefers to take his time warming up, observing from a safe distance until he feels secure. Once he knows he is safe, his sweet, loyal nature shines through. He thrives in a calm environment where he can move at his own pace. He prefers no kids, and in fact will try to herd/nip them (maybe adults sometimes too!).

While he may be reserved, Petey has a fun, active side. He is great at obedience training as he is a willing learner! And loves brain games. He would have been an A+ Student! He absolutely loves car rides. He will happily hop into the backseat, stick his nose out the window, and let the wind whistle in his ears. He enjoys long, quiet walks where he can use his excellent nose to sniff out new trails.
Petey is looking for a peaceful home—ideally as the only pet—with humans who understand that the best friendships take time to grow. If you have a quiet routine and a passenger seat available for a lifetime copilot, Petey might be your perfect match.

Reintroducing Athena!! This silly girl is as playful as they get! She is very adventurous and loves her people! She is very easy going. Miss Athena is dog selective and a little too interested in cats so we would recommend her going to a home with no cats. Athena is 1 year and 7 months old, she weighs 70 lbs, she is UTD on vaccines and dewormer, she is scheduled to be spayed and will receive her microchip the same day. Her adoption fee is $125. You may come visit her any day as we are open 7 days a week from 10:30 to 3:30. You can also apply at http://www.hshcwv.org/adopt

Stats for the month of May 2026.
3 animals returned (2 dogs and 1 cat).
8 dogs and 54 cats (kitten season 😔 ) transferred in from Animal Control.
9 dogs and 37 cats adopted.

One of the cats returned - Gracie was returned because they couldn't afford vet care. She came to us glowing yellow, and barely breathing. Unfortunately they had let that her issues go on too long and Gracie was in advanced liver failure. After a vet visit it was determined the best course of action was to let her pass on so she was humanely euthanized. Also we lost 2 kittens due to failure to thrive. 😿
People often forget as much as we are here to save all the animals, what happens before they get to us affects us in so many ways. We hate to lose animals because it hurts our hearts, but all three deaths above could have been prevented by either responsible pet owners, or spaying/neutering of animals.

Of the 62 animals that came through our doors from Animal Control this month only 4! were spayed/neutered. Less than 1% !!!
Please spay & neuter so we can end this cycle of over pet population! We in shelters & rescues are drowning.
There are programs. If in Harrison County please contact us or visit hshcwv.org/spay , Contact Harrison county animal Harrison County WV Animal Control for their voucher program, and Clarksburg Veterinary Hospital for their TNR program with SNIP WV .

Doja had an amazing day out at the Trails & Tails Event. She was run by Amber and they placed 1st in the Run/Walk! She had some chicken feet snacks, met lots of human and furry friends, played in the park chasing ball to her hearts content!

Meet Doja! This stunning 1.5-year-old pit bull mix is a total superstar who is ready to bring endless joy and energy to her forever home.
Doja is the perfect blend of athletic playmate and affectionate companion. She absolutely adores humans and greets every person she meets with a wagging tail and a happy heart. If you are looking for a loyal copilot for outdoor adventures, Doja is your girl. She has a passion for playtime and will happily chase a tennis ball in the yard until your arm gets tired.
When it comes to other pups, Doja is a social butterfly. She gets along great with most other dogs and loves a good playgroup session. After a fun day of running and playing, she is more than happy to cuddle up close for some well-deserved belly rubs and affection.
Doja is young, eager to please, and ready to learn. She would do best in an active household that can provide her with plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and love. Come meet Doja today and see if she is the missing piece to your family.
